ONE thing is certain: Arthur ought never to have sent Janey the
doll.
It came about like this.
He wrote us one of his absurd letters from a place in Africa, where
he had been helping to put down a native rising. It was embellished
as usual with lively pen-and-ink sketches of his black soldiers
(who seemed to bear an extraordinary likeness to Christy Minstrels),
and in a postscript contained the information that he was sending
Janey a little black doll he had discovered in a deserted hut.
The doll appeared a fortnight later, wrapped up in a year-old engineering
supplement of The Times, tied together with three knotted pieces
of string. The stamps I put by for my threeyear-old nephew, until
the time arrived when he would be able to appreciate their value.
'
Janey was disappointed, and I do not wonder at it. She had been
looking forward to the arrival of this new member of her family,
all the more eagerly because Cicely White had been unbearably conceited
about a doll her godmother had sent from Paris. The little African,
instead of having a neatly painted trunk containing an elaborate
wardrobe, appeared on the removal of his paper covering in a state
of absolute nudity. I think Janey could have forgiven his lack
of clothes if he had been : less ugly. Without doubt he was hideous.
His nose was a shapeless, protruding lump; his lips were thick,
and his hair was represented by a collection of knobs. The one
redeeming feature was his size; he measured just two feet and a
half, and could stand unsupported in the bath of Condy's fluid
to which he was subjected. But I thought my sister wrong in punishing
Janey for her tears; the contrast between Sambo and Cicely White's
gay Parisienne was too great.
